Evil Ego

Feelin' somethin' inside, it's a leech within my mind
On the surface I act like I'm fine, hearin' the voice from my other side
Like evil Mr. Hyde, it takes over when I write
Dilation in my eyes, teeth grind, I'm runnin' out of time

I try to stay sane, keep a smile on my face, I got a
Evil, Ego
Every damn day it seems it's the same thing, I got a
Evil, Ego

I try to get away from the thoughts of causin' pain, I got a
Evil, Ego
I keep it contained but it's bustin' out the cage, I got a
Evil, Ego

I try to be the nice guy, I really try to live right, staying positive,
Lookin' at the bright side, all I want is sunshine, I strive for success
I really wanna live life, I try to keep my head right, but there's another half
That lives in my cranium, he sits in the back
Every time I get frustrated, he begins to yap

Tellin' me things, ignitin' the flames, this creature wants me to snap
Losing my brain, I'm going insane, I hear him talkin' when I try to relax

Let the flames grow, lose control, you're a joke, you never stand your ground
You wonder why you're so alone, everybody hates you, you're too kind
That's why everybody plays you, let me persuade you

No thank you, you're fake too, I'ma let the light pervade through my plan is to invade you

Don't you get it, no one can save you, doesn't matter who you pray to
No not even Jesus, let me aid you

I try to stay sane, keep a smile on my face, I got a
Evil, Ego
Every damn day, it seems it's the same thing, I got a
Evil, Ego

I try to get away from the thoughts of causin' pain, I got a
Evil, Ego
I keep it contained, but it's busting out the cage, I got a
Evil, Ego

How do I control this thing inside my mind, it's taking over me
Every time I close my eyes, I see the sight, such a morbid scene
I try to keep a smile all the time, but this other side
Has me feelin' like a horrid freak

I'm morphin' into a beast
Endorphin levels increase, at night I have to force myself to sleep
I gain so much energy

I done lost it, I feel this monster knockin
I'm done with this, I'ma give it to my homie Prophet

These voices talkin', mentally schemin' plot, thinkin' of different ways to obtain the object of topic
Feelin' so cold and hot hiding Jekyll in the dark
The 400 micrograms will hopefully stop it, ego death, my goal
My depression turn me so cold, only time you get a chance to look at a ginger soul

But you don't even know how deranged I really go
It's always a fuckin' battle goin' on inside my dome

I try to stay sane, keep a smile on my face, I got a
Evil, Ego

Every damn day, it seems it's the same thing, I got a
Evil, Ego

I try to get away from the thoughts of causin' pain, I got a
Evil, Ego

I keep it contained, but it's bustin' out the cage, I got a
Evil, Ego

I gotta get away from this thing, it's bad for my health
Don't know if I'm talkin' to the devil or I'm talkin' to myself

Feel like there's so much hell fire my humanity begins to melt
So much pain, like I'm chokin' on some nails

There's gotta be a way to disintegrate this inner hate
That I face, I let it manifest in my brain know it's causin' erratic rage
The negativity has got me in a sporadic state
I need a change, cause the way I think has got me in a nomadic daze

So the moral to the story is, we all have an evil ego inside of us
The question is, will you learn from it, or let it consume you

I try to stay sane, keep a smile on my face, I got a

Every damn day, it seems it's the same thing, I got a

I try to get away from the thoughts that cause the pain, I
got a

I keep it contained, but it's busting out the cage
I got a
